both be of flat bar or strap iron. The side sections 2 are bent over into E. shape atv the ends 2 and on each such L extension and immediately adjacent to the corner thereof 1 provide a stud 10. This stud has a head larger than the diameter of its body and is adapted to enter a hole 11. near the end of the piece 2 so that said piece may be engaged under the head of the stud, as clearly 12 denotes a similar stud on the piece 2 and farther in from the end thereof. This stud engages a slot 13 on the L extension 2, the curve of said slot being generally concentric with the stud 10 so that the latter may be engaged with its hole 11 first, and the stud 12 then put 1n engagement with its slot 13 by an angular movement between the sections 2 and 2", centered about the stud 10. The extensions 2 are sufticiently projecting to be grasped by the hem of the bag 7 and thus hold the part firmly in said engagement. The hem of the receptacle 7 forms a tubular envelop or pocket which closely incases the extensions .2 thus in effect splicing them to the end member 2" and preventing any swiveling movement about the stud 10. Inasmuch as no dislodgment of the end member 2" can take place with respect to the side member 2 without swiveling about the stud 10, it is evident that the parts are tightly locked against dislodgment. The connections of the sections 9" with posts 1 also serve the same purpose, as do the connections of the struts 3 with the sections 2. Accordingly in use the loop-frame is as rigid as if made in one integral piece.

As a secure and'detachable pivotal connection between the loop-frame 2 and the post 1, I prefer to form the inner ends of the loop-frame 2 with vertical slots 1: which may have laterally and backwardly directed inner portions if desired.

15 designates studs on the .posts 1 closely adjacent to the upper ends of the same, which studs are adapted to fit in the slots 14. The end of each bar 2 is curved gen erally concentric to the stud 15 in its engaged relation with the bar, so that the latter may be swung through half a turn about said stud when the post or bar are to be disengaged from one another. I prefer to employ this arrangement, making the posts with upper end flanges 16, so that in normal use the loop-frame is locked to the posts throughout the range of the normal pivotal movement. The flanges 16 are also adapted to serve as a means of attachment of the posts to the frame of the sewing machine, or the like, being provided with screw-holes 17 for this purpose.

In practice I make the posts 1, the straps 3, and the various parts of the loop-frame 2, of flat metallic strips of uniform character, and all the parts are adapted to be quickly stamped or formed up in a die press. The posts 1 are made of two similar sections which, however, are permanently fixed together by the pivot pin 4 and the stud 15 at the respective ends, and additional rivets or fastening means may be employed if desired.

In normal use the device is assembled in the manner clearly shown in Fig. 1. When temporarily put out of use the studs (3 are unbuttoned from their key-hole slots 5, after which the loop-frame 2 and the struts 3 are both swung down and out of the way. The device can, whenever desired, be completely taken apart in the manner already described.

What I claim is A sewing receptacle comprising the combination of a loop-frame having an end section and entirely separate L shaped side sections, said L-shaped side sections having a pin and a curved slot on their bent ends and said end section having a hole and a pin at each end and cooperating with the pins and slots of the side sections, posts supported wholly from beneath a table or supporting surface and projecting freely but rigidly downward therefrom, pivot pins for permanently connecting said posts and side sections, and struts pivoted to said posts and having key hole slots whereby they are adapted to be detachably secured to said side sections, and a bag having a hemmed pocket at its upper edge constituting a closely fitting tubular casing embracing the overlapping portions of said end and side sections, whereby these are closely .bound together, substantially as described.

in testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 13th day of June 1910.
